Default Target Drive and Directory selection...

Thread needs solution

I use Acronis True Home Image 2010 (and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit).

Whenever I do backup I have to browse and select the target drive and directory. Isn’t there a way to adjust the default drive and directory for once and all?

YOu can create a task. E.g., if you make a Backup Location on your target drive and then create a task to backup all of c: to the target drive Backup Location. Say, your target is drive d:; then everytime you run the task, that's where it will go. The only hitch is if d: is an external drive and then the hitch is if more drives are connected, your intended target might be assigned, say, E: instead of D: and vice versa. I've been backing up a notebook this way for a copule of years and all I do is plug inthe drive, start ATI, start the task and let 'er rip.

On other machines I run tasks on schedules and so I don't even have to manually start ATI and manualy start the task.

It’s hard to believe a 21.th century software not having a way to setup default drive and directory.

Thank you, I will try creating tasks.

Well, they do, it's called Tasks ;) gives you lots of control over various options and besides allowing you to set a "default", you can set a diff "default" for each task.
